-CHAPTER SEVEN-
"She must have been poisoned or something… they must have kept the antidote somewhere in here." Bruce said looking into the desk.
Carolyn continued compressions on Dinah's heart, this time she managed to get a pulse.
"Thank god!" Carolyn said, relieved. "Bruce, she's breathing!"
"Good! But we need to find the antidote… I don't think she will last that much longer. ...Found it!" Bruce said, finding a little bottle with liquid in it.
"Are you sure? It could be more of the poison!"
"Well, we have to take the chance… now, don't we?" Bruce said coming over to Carolyn and bending down to face Dinah.
"God, I just hope it's not!"
"Me too." Bruce opened the bottle; he then slowly poured the liquid into Dinah's mouth.
"Now what do we do?"
"I guess we wait… but I think we better leave here right away and go back to the manor."
"You're right." Carolyn got up from the ground and picked up Dinah into her arms.
"What about them?" Carolyn said looking at Destiny.
"The cops should be here soon… they could handle them. They won't be anymore trouble." Bruce said.
They both headed out of the room and to the car outside.
"Alfred, are the beds ready in the lab!" Bruce yelled walking into Wayne Manor, carrying Helena in his arms.
Carolyn followed behind him with Dinah in her arms too.
"Yes, Master Bruce." Alfred responded, coming up the stairs from the lab.
Bruce and Carolyn headed to the lab.
"May I just say… the hospital call… and Barbara is alive." Alfred said.
Carolyn and Bruce turned around to face Alfred shocked at what he just said. "What do you mean she is alive!" both Bruce and Carolyn asked, still can't believing what they had just heard.
"Apparently after you two left, Barbara's heart started to beat again."
"Thanks, Alfred… will you call them and tell them we'll be there as soon as we can."
"Yes, Master Bruce." Alfred walked way and into a room.
Carolyn turned and looked at Bruce with a puzzled expression on her face. "Barbara's alive?"
"Apparently." Bruce said turning around and heading into the lab, Carolyn following right behind.
Bruce put Helena down on one of the bed inside the lab, while Carolyn gingerly placed Dinah on the other. Bruce went over to the computers and the equipment and got a scanner and a needle before turning back over to Dinah and ran it over her body as well as drawing her blood. He then went back over to the computers to see the results of the scanner he just did on Carolyn's daughter.
"So want does it say?" Carolyn asked looking down at Dinah worriedly.
She was just standing next to her daughter. She gently put a hand on her daughter's forehead.
The results popped up on the screen, Bruce studied it.
"Everything looks fine. There doesn't seem to be any poison in her blood stream." Bruce said taking his eyes off the screen and looking at Carolyn, who was looking down at her daughter.
Carolyn felt relieved after hearing Bruce say that there was nothing in her daughter's blood and she was going to be all right, no poison after all. Thank god! Carolyn said thinking to herself.
"So she would wake up soon?" Carolyn asked.
"She should be waking up in an hour or so… and so should Helena." Bruce replied looking at Helena, then turning to Carolyn. "Why don't we head over to the hospital and see Barbara… I''ll have Alfred watch over them."
"You just go Bruce… I'll stay and watch them." Carolyn said not wanting to leave her daughter.
"If you're sure, Carolyn. I'll just go… call me if anything's wrong. I should be back in an hour or two." Bruce said heading towards the door out of the lab.
"All right, I'll see you later… tell Barbara I'm glad that she is alive."
"I will." Bruce replied, leaving the lab.
Carolyn turned back to look at her daughter on the bed.
"I'm looking for Barbara Gordon, can you tell me which room she is in?" Bruce asked the nurse at the front desk.
"Let me see… hold on." The nurse went over and pulled out a folder with Barbara's name on it, and opened it.
"She should be in room 34." The nurse said looking up at Bruce. "It's just down the hall way, the fifth door on the left."
"Thank you." Bruce replied back.
He headed towards the room. When he got there, he looked in. Barbara was awake and was sitting up. Bruce walked into the room, closing the door behind him.
Barbara turned her head upon hearing someone coming into the room, she was surprised to see Bruce standing there. "Bruce?"
"Hello, Barbara." Bruce said walking towards her.
He pulled up a chair towards the bed and sat down.
"What are you doing here?" Barbara asked, apparently taken aback that he was back in New Gotham.
"It's a very long story."
"I have time."
"Well… … …" Bruce began.
"My… … god… my… ears!" Helena cried out in pain, grasping her ears as she started to wake up.
Carolyn, who was sitting down close to Dinah, rushed over to Helena.
"Helena? Helena… you okay?" Carolyn asked, putting a hand on Helena's shoulder, but it was slapped away.
"Don't touch me, you bitch!" Helena replied angrily, opening her eyes.
Carolyn backed away from Helena at a safe distance.
"Just calm down Helena."
"Calm down… calm down! How can I calm down!" Helena shouted, not caring about the pain, she started standing up.
Helena stared at Carolyn in anger and started walking slowly towards her, her eyes turned to cat-like slits. Helena lurched forward and threw a punch at Carolyn, knocking her to the floor.
"Helena!" Carolyn yelling, getting up for the ground as she cupped her face in her hand.
Helena went after Carolyn again, but this time Carolyn jumped out of the way, avoiding the punch.
"You are so dead, fucking bitch!" Helena went after Carolyn.
While they were busy arguing at each other, Dinah had woken up and was getting up from where she was lying. She looked at her surroundings. Still dazed from the ordeal, she couldn't tell where she was. She spotted two people yelling at each other, one of them then punched the other woman… but she ducked out of the way. That women looked very much like her mother who had died in the fire… but it can't be her… she's dead. It had to be another dream. She looked around to see if there was a way out of the room, she saw the exit. She slowly headed toward the door not caring about the pain she was in… she did not want the other two people in the room to see her. When she's at the door, she pulled it open… she stepped out of the room… and headed down the walkway running… looking for a way out.
Back inside the room Helena had pushed Carolyn to the ground.
"You are so going to pay!" Helena yelled angrily, leaping at Carolyn.
Carolyn rolled over barely avoiding Helena who came pouncing like a gigantic cat. She was about to grab Helena from the ground when she noticed that her daughter was not lying on the bed.
"Dinah!" Carolyn called for the blonde, looking around the room for any sign of her.
"What about her?" Helena asked getting up.
"Dinah's gone!" Carolyn said as she ran out of the room leaving Helena behind… she thundered down the hallway looking for her daughter.
Helena got up from the ground and looked towards where Dinah was suppose to be lying… Dinah wasn't there.
"Fuck!" Helena ran out of the room as well.
